Sony Fixes Back Compat Issues in PS3 Update

pl1ght writes in to say that that the much maligned PS2 back-compat issues the PS3 has been experiencing are now a thing of the past. The newest software update takes the OS from version 1.4 to 1.5, and in doing so seems to have cleared up the worst of the blurry and unreadability problems. There are apparently "still problems with specific releases that have yet to be addressed, but for the most part, your library of old releases should run no problem now -- and with higher clarity than was ever possible on the other machines, to boot." Nicely done, Sony.

What? Some Good PS3 News?

Wow, some good news on the PS3 front! While I won't be running out to get a Playstation 3 right away, I'm very glad to hear that the graphics problems with legacy titles has been solved. The fact that the machines got out the door with such egregious issues is a testament to the time pressure Sony was under to launch the PS3. With some luck, the European launch will be a much smoother affair than the US one.
